I did! Cinder loves her crate. I have to close her in when I use the treadmill or vacuum. She is totally ok with it. Other than that, she uses it at her convenience.. She has free run of the house now even when I’m gone during the day, but I think it was very instrumental in potty training.. She may be the best behaved inside dog I’ve ever had!
We have always used crates and they love their homes. Even when we had pups we crate trained them, so when they went to their new homes, they felt at home in a crate.
